“Remember, you must die.”Long ago, a young Bruce Wayne first encountered the monstrous Memento inthe winding streets of London and narrowly escaped with his life—but also withterrifying questions he never managed to answer. Now, with Gotham City in flames,will Batman finally find the key to stopping Memento once and for all? Or will hisson suffer the fate he fled all those years ago? The Memento storyline comes to athunderous conclusion!
The Memento plotline has taken up the entirety of Phillip Kennedy Johnson's run, always a risky gambit but he's known for long-form stories, and he's also managed to work in a lot of really interesting personal content for both Bruce and Damian as Bruce's lack of trust managed to unravel their relationship.

Batman and Robin #24 is a great ending to a complex and full story, I can't wait to see how the creative team builds on this going forward! Read Full Review
Batman and Robin #24 was a satisfying finale to the almost year-long "Memento storyline. While it took awhile to get to this point, I feel that Phillip Kennedy Johnson and the entire creative team created something special that fans will look back more fondly as time goes on. This arc will definitely read better all once when it's all collected, so I highly recommend reading the trades. Anyway, I'm really excited for the next chapter of Johnson's run and the journey the Dynamic Duo go on. Read Full Review
Great ending but this story would've been so much stronger if it wasn't dragged out over so many issues.
Solid end to a solid story. I didn't like it quite as much as the previous arcs, but there was some good character progression from Damian and how Bruce treats him. I enjoyed it.
Decent conclusion to this story arc. Though I think memento definitely wore out as welcome. The story could’ve easily fit into six issues rather than have been spread across 12.
Mediocre final issue of a long story. This just isn’t one of the better current Batman stories.
Check out the other Batman and Robin series by Waid and Dark Patterns by Watters for great Batman stories. Money better spent.
It's scary how drawn out this story was. It was a nothing story with no impact whatsoever. So small, in fact, that Johnson tied it up in a half of an issue. It had me saying, "That's it?" This started out really good and then dragged, and dragged, and dragged, until it went from a boulder to a pebble. The only parts of this story were good were Damien trying to figure out who he was going to be. Let's hope he can write a shorter more coherent story. Batman should not be dealing with the supernatural. Give him a traditional detective story please.
